Mauricio Pochettino has decided. For the reception of Reims this Sunday, at 8:45 p.m., at the end of the 22nd day of Ligue 1, Kylian Mbappé is a good starter. The striker, who remained in treatment for a good part of the week for discomfort in the left adductor felt following the victory once morest Brest (2-0), will start the match well.
In addition, the Parisian coach chose to deprive himself of Lionel Messi at kick-off. The seven-time Ballon d’Or is a substitute for his return to competition. Affected by the Covid-19 during the end of the year celebrations, he has already missed the matches once morest Vannes, Lyon and Brest since the start of the year. Note also the presence in the starting lineup of Sergio Ramos and Marquinhos in defense.
The former Real Madrid captain is preferred over Presnel Kimpembe. Thilo Kehrer and Nuno Mendes are taken back to the corridors. In midfield, Marco Verratti is associated with Danilo Pereira and Leandro Paredes. Finally, in front, Mauro Icardi and Angel Di Maria complete the attack. Keylor Navas finds his place in the Parisian cage.
The Parisian composition:
Navas – Kehrer, Marquinhos (cap), Ramos, Nuno Mendes – Danilo, Verratti, Paredes – Di Maria, Icardi, Mbappé
